"Magical."--Kirkus Reviews
Resourceful twin sisters and a desperate queen must find a new source
of magic to stop their kingdom from being consumed by darkness. This
classic fantasy-adventure from bestselling author Claire Legrand is full
of twists, turns, and unforgettable moments. Thornlight is a must-have
for fans of Tahereh Mafi and Diana Wynne Jones.
A stand-alone companion to the acclaimed Foxheart.
Centuries and centuries ago, the Vale was split in two in a war between
witches. Ever since, an evil darkness has been climbing, climbing,
climbing out of the Break, infecting everything it touches. The people
of the Vale fight it with discs made of lightning--and with an ancient
spell. Brier Skystone is the youngest, most talented lightning harvester
the Vale's ever seen. Her twin sister, Thorn, is a sensitive artist
who's braver than even she knows. And young Queen Celestyna Hightower is
determined to be Mender of the Break, the last of her family to bear the
weight of anchoring the spell--which is really more of a curse.
As the darkness keeps coming, these three girls will each undertake
their own perilous journeys to try to save their home--and each quest
reveals an electrifying surprise. Perhaps they've been fighting the
wrong monster all along.
New York Times-bestselling author Claire Legrand creates an intricate
and layered world full of unicorns, witches, mistbirds, grifflets, and
unlikely heroes--with an appearance by the legendary witch Quicksilver
Foxheart. This stand-alone companion to Foxheart explores what it
means to be brave, and the destructive force of war on nature and
community
Fast-paced, memorable, and surprising, Thornlight is a perfect
introduction to Claire Legrand's work and will appeal to fans of Kelly
Barnhill and Jessica Townsend.
